This Tutorial is for installing TDW's Options File Editor Viewer (OFEV) anywhere on your system as a stand alone application only.

If a complete uninstall is done the stand alone the OFEV application is unaffected by this.
When the re-install is done just follow the instructions from Picture 10 to Picture 14.

The OFEV is included in TDW's NewUI's 7-4-2 and 7-5-0 base mods.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS STAND ALONE VERSION FOR:
The Wolves of Steel (TWoS)
Sobers Mega Mod
